Laravel 5.2 view composer gets executed multiple times

I had some (major) performance issues on a project I'm working on and after logging all the queries that get executed, I realised many of them are executed multiple times and I cannot get to the root of the problem.

All the queries that get executed multiple times are in my view composer provider.

This is what my view composer looks like:

public function boot()
    {
        view()->composer('partials.sidebar', function ($view) {
            $currentCategory = $this->getCurrentCategory();
            $sidebarCategories = SidebarCategory::category($currentCategory)
                ->order()
                ->get();
            $view
                ->with('sidebarCategories', $sidebarCategories);
        });

        view()->composer('partials.footer', function ($view) {
            $footerLinks = FooterCategory::with('links.translations')->order()->get();
            $footerColumn1 = $footerLinks->filter(function ($value, $key) {
                return $value->column == 1;
            });
            $footerColumn2 = $footerLinks->filter(function ($value, $key) {
                return $value->column == 2;
            });
            $footerColumn3 = $footerLinks->filter(function ($value, $key) {
                return $value->column == 3;
            });
            $footerColumn4 = $footerLinks->filter(function ($value, $key) {
                return $value->column == 4;
            });

            $view
                ->with(compact('footerColumn1', 'footerColumn2', 'footerColumn3', 'footerColumn4'));
        });
}

Both of these queries (Sidbar and Footer categories) get executed about 6 times, even though each partials is called exactly once. They are both called in master view with @include('partialname').

I've tried this:

if($view->offsetExists('sidebarCategory'))
    return;

But the offsetExists always returns false (even after its called for 5. time).

Any idea why this is happening and what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
